SHREWD INVEST ORS.

MeSSrs. GREW and WILSON, of Paris.
France, two Gentlemen who have been
occupying mere than a fair share of
public attention lately, are pretty
Shrewd fellows after all. No one can
realize the instability of French GOV
eminent so well as those who are actu-
ally engaged in governing, and eX-Presi-
dent GREW and his sOn-in-law have
given practical evidence of that fact.

WILSON has grown very rich. His re-
spected father-in-law has far preceded
him Oh the road to wealth. But each
one knew that in eXcitabe France a
revolution or a panic might occur at
any time to sweep away their great for
tunes. They looked around them, lis
tened to the seductive voice Of the
American investment broker and found
his conversation pleasing. As a result
the two distinguished Frenchmen have
invested something like million each
in the United States, where government
is stable and incomes are sure.
Their example is one which other
wealthy foreigners might follow with
profit. In no country in Europe are re-
turns from investments as large or as
sure as they are in America, particularly

A BLAINE ORGAN.

1t is a curious story, which is now
hedged around with enough circum-
Stantial evidence to give it credence,
that involves the purchase of the Chi
cagO Times by syndicate of Republic
ans, who will manage it in the interest
of Mr.. BLAINE's candidacy for the
presidency. That the distinguished
gentleman from Maine is in sore need
of defender in Chicago is especially
evident since the detection of the Trib-
une, hitherto thick and thin sup
porter of Mr.. BLAINE. But that the
Times should have been secured for
such service will seem odd, indeed, to
those old-timers who have been ac-
quainted with its sturdy Democracy for
more years than they would care to
count. Evidently buffeted by fortune
and the law courts, the magnificent
property which STOREY spent a life
time in creating is nearing the end Of its
usefulness.
The Journal whose one end and aim
is the advancement of the personal in
tereStS of one man can never fulfill its
destiny as newspaper. 1t becomes an
organ pure and simple, by which moth
ing is presented that does not aid in the
one object for which it exists. If the
ghost of STOREY does not haunt the edi-
tOriaI rooms of the Times the first night
it passes into the control of the BLAINE
crowd, it will only be because the vet
eran editor is hampered in ''that I'M
known bourne from which no traveller
returns by bonds which even an &C.
stacy of frenzy cannot break.
But even though he should purchase
an organ in every city in the country,
we are much inclined to the belief that
Mr.. BLAINE's long purse will avail him
nothing.

Probably the biggest real estate boom
now in the West is that of San Diego.

inferred from the fact that the transfers
of real estate during the past two weeks
aggregated S33.000,000 Seats have been
engaged in passenger and chair cars

wish to visit this portion of the Pacific
coast with view to investing money,
and [ found that out to-day. A syndi-
cate of capitalists from the East, among
them being MeSSrS. JOHN CUsHMAN, of
New York; PHILIP PORTS, of Cincin-
matt; RICHARD CULVER, of CoyingtOn,
KY, and HORACE GRACE, of Indian
apoliS, telegraphed me to obtain seats
on train for them that would leave st.
Paul Monday. This was an impOsSibility,
and was compelled to charter an entire
car for their accommodation. They are
going to San Diego to Investigate the
boom personally. For the information
of those who want TO visit San Diego, L
want to say that bare room costs $50
month, and even at that figure it is diff
cult to obtain lodgings. Within the
next year it is estimated that the popu--
latiOn of San Diego will be increased
$4,000, and people are pouring in now at
the rate of 1000 day, many of whom
have signified their intention of taking
up permanent residence. Actual i'm

In the almost universally favorable
comment excited by the presidents adj
mirable message. paragraph pretty
generally touched upon is the exposition
of the fallacy that high tariff makes
high wages. President CLEVELAND
puts the point very plainly in his Illus
trations Of the workman, who, receiving
excellent wages under the operation of
the high tariff, is obliged to spend the
product of several days toll in paying
the increased price brought about by
the tariff upon an article absolutely re-
quired in his family, and to whose man.
ufacture his own work may have con-
tributed.
Wages are high or low relatively. If
one man earns SO, and is able to buy as
much with it in full market as the
man who earns $50 can in a protected
market, obviously the wages, no matter
what they are intrinSically, are actually
the same. 1t is the purchasing power
alone that determines the value of
money, and, consequently, of wages.
The money itself is simply con-
venient medium: the goods bought with
it represent the real reward of labor.
Therefore if under a reduced tariff
workman is enabled to procure more of
the necessaries and even luXuries of life
than under high tariff, the change is
obviously to his advantage, even though
his monetary wages are reduced-a sup
position entertained for the sake of
argument.
The plea of the ultra-prOtectionists is
very speciOus one and is urged with
all possible force upon the wOrkmen
who are not inclined to look beyond the
amount received in actual money for
the remuneration of their labor; but
with the intelligent and clear-headed
workers of the West, with the men who
are interested in tracing the rela-
tiOnship between cause and effect, with
these it won't 90 down.

Col. P. NJ CLEARY. OF Chicago-Just
as sure as fate the Democratic cOnven-
ton will meet at Chicago, too, thus fol-
lowing the good example set by the Re
publicanS in 1884. There is no finer hall
in the world than that in the exposition
building On the lake front, with capac-
ity for 10000 spectators. 1t is useless to
talk of going elsewhere with the cOnven-
ton, for Chicago can take care of the
biggest crowds and do it in regal man
ner as well. No one who ever visited
the Garden City on one of these conven-
ton occasions had any fault to find with
the hotel accommodations or the man
ner in which delegates were entertained,
so that it was no wonder to me that only
three ballots were necessary to decide
the question of location at the recent
meeting of the Republican committee at
Washington. There is time enough yet
for the cities of the Northwest TO secure
this prize, but they must wait few years,
until they are more fully developed. L
do not say this with any desire to crow
about Chicago, but am simply stating
facts that can readily be verified.

JOSEF HOFMANN, the ten-yearOld
boy pianist, created great sensation
at the Metropolitan opera house in New
York last Tuesday night. ANTON RU-
BINSTRIN says that u1e child is really
the marvel of the age, and all the
musical critics of Germany, France
and England unite in referring to him as
''the modern MOZART" The boy is not
only skilled performer, but is a brill
liant composer as well. He is a modest
little fellow, and has most perfect child
ways on the stage. When he bows his
thanks he usually, when seated at the
piano, hobs his head to the keyboard as
if the enthusiasm had risen from the
ivory. When he has finished and the
applause bursts forth he stands up like
a little man and bObS his head to the
audience, and then turns around and
Skips away like little deer.

The lecture field is getting to be bar
rem one. When men of the celebrity of
DR.. PARKER and THOMAS MAST fail to
attract big audiences, there isn't much
room for the small fry class of public
lecturers. MAST can talk better with
his pencil than with his tongue, any
way. He would also fare better with
the public if he could hold his temper.
When he undertook in neighboring
city to ayenge himself on newspaper
because of an adverse criticism by car
looming the editor in public, he gave
evidence of the possession of asinine
qualities that the public had never
caught on to.

Mother, Love Your Baby.

Baby's dead! Many thousand times
a day this news is told i'll a subdued
whisper throughout the land. and yet
the world goes rushing on into the
teeth of eternity. its smiles turning into
laughing dew-drOps the tears that well
from the broken hearts of grief-Stricken
mothers.
Baby's dead. Mother, you know what
that means. You understand the mean
ing of those words as nobody else under
stands them. The grief that shakes
YOUR Door heart and the tears that burn
your pale cheeks cannot interpret to
the world the depth and breadth of the
great anguish that was born in your
breast when the light of life faded out
of the little blue eyes of your idol. The
sunlight has gone out of your life, the
clouds have made it dark, the
pitiless winds moan and wall about
YOU; the flowers that yesterday blOOmed
around your pathway ,nOdding and Smil-
ing at you as you passed happily on,
have faded; their heads hang low, they
too are sad. You lift your weary eyes
from the silent face of your darling to
look into the future, but there seems to
be none for you. Black, black, all is
black. No light, no happiness, no COM
fort. How willingly would you give
your right hand, aye, even both hands,
if YOU could kiss those tiny rosebud
lips back to life; if you could raise the
seal of death from those baby eyes, if
you could see once more the flush Of
health on those waXen cheeks. How
willingly you would lay down your
own life if you could once
more see those baby eyes
dance with innocent JOY, if you could
hear once more that baby voice coo the
simple language that you only could
understand, if you could once more feel
the baby fingers press y0uI face with
their tiny tips. if you could once more
feel the clinging, innocent kisses of
those baby lips. Yesterday all these
joys were yours. Yesterday you were
building great castles around your baby
that lowered from earth to heaven.
Yesterday you were reveling i'll a beau
tiful dream of which your baby was the
central figure. To-day the castles are
ruined and your dream is shattered. To-
day you are struggling in world of
gloom, sea of misery, fOr-baby's
dead.
Mother. watch carefully over that
tongue of yours while baby lives. Many
times YOUR patience is sOrely tried by
the little elf. Many times you are veXed
by his mischief. Many times, when
weary and worn with the cares of the
day, when your head and body are ach-
ing, baby seems troublesome, baby
seems mean. baby seems almost NUS
Sance. AT times like this be careful of
your tongue. Be careful of your
thoughts, for tomorrow the little hands
that were so full of mischief may be
helpless in death. That little tongue,
that yesterday nearly drove you frantic,
may be silenced forever; and then,
through your tears and your agony, will
come like food upon your mind all
those hasty words, all those cruel
thoughts of the day when baby seemed
a nuisance. Mother, you will never

Col. T. r. WELz, Merchants Hotel
Despite the fact that the Legislature will
not meet here this winter, L never knew
business to be better, and in converse
ton with the leading wholesale men of
st. Paul my statement is fully subStan-
tiated. A comparison of the business
done by my house with last season, be-
ginning with fall, shows that receipts
have been larger and guests more
numerous than ever before in the his
tory of the Merchants. And it is good
class of customers, too, that has patron
lied us, and the other hotels report the
same gratifying results. While we
naturally regret that the Republican
convention will not be held at Mime
apOliS next year, our carnival season
will make amends for any deficiency i'll
that respect. Already a number of the
best rooms in my house have been en-
gagged for the carnival. and principally
by persons living in the East, some of
them as far north as Connecticut. We
anticipate a big rush from the 18th of
january until the ice palace is thing
of the past.

INGALLS, SCHEME.

Senator INGALLS, has a little scheme
for reducing the surplus. 1t cOntem-
plates the establishment of great ma
tional school for the training of teach
ers. who are to be paid regular salaries
by the government and who, on gradua-
ton, are to be sent out to the different
parts of the country where ignorance
most prevails to do battle for the cause
of knowledge.
The idea is at first glance fascinat-
ing one. 1t would certainly result in
very materially reducing the surplus if
that were the only thing to be desired,
but it would hardly accomplish the edu-
catiOnal purposes which the Kansas
senator seeks 10 achieve. The public
school system of the country is already
as nearly perfect as it can be under the
circumstances, and it would leave but
limited field of operation for Senator
INGALLS, government teachers.
Ignorance is, as rule, more prev
aleht in the dehsely crowded cities
than in the country. and the public
schools of the cities afford educational
opportunities to all willing to avail
themselves of them. In towns, villages
and the less thickly populated school
districts the graduates of Normal schools
are doing good work. and admirably
supplement the efforts of the teachers
employed in the ordinary way. So that
unless they should be sent to the front
Ter the government instructors would
not have very extended scope.
But adepartment containing several
thousand able-bOdied men who could be
sent TO any part of the country at short
notice would have great political posi-
bilities, and perhaps Senator INGALLS,
is not entirely obliviOus to that fact.

AN EXCELLENT IDEA.

There has been formed recently in
Washington woman's club with an ex-
cellent object in View-the reading of
newspapers. 1t is a lamentable fact
that the average woman is not a news
paper reader. If she knows anything
about current news it is learned by hear
say and in a superficial way. At best
she gets but Smattering of matters
with which she should be well ac-
qnainted. She should be as well in
formed as to what is contained in the
foreign news department as she is with
that contained III the department of
births, deaths and marriages. But gen.
orally she isn't Now this is all wrong.
There is no reason why a woman
shouldn't be as cOnverSant with the
news of the day as her brother or hus-
band.
That is the way a certain number of
women in Washington have reasoned,
and the result is the formation of a so
ciety which meets several times weekly
at the houses of the members. Leading
newspapers are then read, the articles
discu ssed and criticised until every per-
son present is thoroughly familiar with
them and has tolerably good knOwl-
edge of the subject. The idea has be-
come very popular at the capital. and
other clubs, having the same object, are
forming. Whoever originated the
scheme deserves credit. for seldom has
there been form of social amusement
devised which carries with it so much
substantial benefit.
Newspaper-reading clubs should be
popular elsewhere than in Washington.
and their extension throughout the
country would soon have perceptible
effect in raising the standard of average
feminine intelligence. at least so far as
the days happenings are concerned.

in the winter preparatory TO giving a
series of exhibition drills in the princi-
pal Eastern cities next summer, and
will also enter the competition drill at
indianapolis. Owing to the distance,
we will not go into the proposed cOmpe-

efforts to more accessible points.
Every Tuesday night we have squad
drill. and Thursday evenings art de-
voted to the company maneuvers, i'll
which thIrty-twO men participate.
When we 90 on our trip it is likely that
we will take forty-three men, all told,
with us. and the boys have shown the
greatest enthusiasm and alacrity in the
task that | have set for them. That
Wisconsin company which was awarded
the first prize at the Chicago drill did
not accept our challenge, but in one OF
their home papers declared that they
could not compete with second honor
company like ours. That was fine
bluff for them to make, especially as
they were victorious over the Toledo
cadets. an organization that was ninth
at Washington last May.
